The only place i can find them is on Ebay and that tells me they are very off brand and probably have no support at all. Take your chances if you buy it but i want quality for my money and happauge gives you that.

There are other brands apart from Haupage but TV cards are hard to get as they often come from a handful of sources but are continually rebranded again and agani so its hard to find out where they came from.
